If we truly love our neighbor should we point out theire sin and hope to participate in their coming to Christ? YES!

If we truly love our neighbor should we point out theire sin and hope to participate in their coming to Christ? YES!
It comes down to "What approach maximizes the future possibility of your neighbor turning away from sin?". If being obnoxious is more likely to create stubbornness, then it's not the right approach. Sometimes, the best approach is silent Witness.
